Who has access to your information?
We will not share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf
We may pass your information to our third-party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to process orders through Vyne Shop and send you mailings). These third parties have been carefully selected and we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond those working on behalf of Optimum Medical for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.
When you’re ordering products through Vyne Shop, your payment is processed by a third party payment processor, who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions, please contact us.
We may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of a sale of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation, or if we’re under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to enforce or apply our terms of use or to protect the rights, property or safety of our customers. However, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected.
How you can access and update your information
The accuracy of your information is important to us.
If you would like to update some of your personal information with us (for example if you have changed your email address, telephone number or address) please email us at enquiries@optimummedical.co.uk and one of the team will be more than happy to update our system.
Please contact enquiries@optimummedical.co.uk in order to request a copy of the information which Optimum Medical hold about you. Please be aware that we may charge £10 for information requests to cover our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.
What security measures are in place to protect my personal data?
When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely.
Vyne Shop & Prescriptions customers can be reassured that any sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) are encrypted and protected with SSL and your payment is processed by a third-party payment processor, who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions, please contact us.
SSL is also active on www.optimummedical.co.uk and www.vyne.co.uk to ensure that data passed between the web server and browser remains private.
Unless mentioned, other non-sensitive details are transmitted normally over the internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to other websites run by other organisations. This privacy policy applies only to our website, so we encourage you to read the privacy statements on the other websites that you visit. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other sites even if you access them using links from our website.
In addition, if you visit our website as a result of clicking a link in a third-party site, we are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners and operators of that third-party site and we recommend that you check the policy of that third-party site.
16 or under
We want to protect the privacy of children aged 16 or under. If you are aged 16 or under, please get your parent/guardian’s permission beforehand whenever you provide us with personal information.
Transferring your information outside of Europe
As part of the services offered to you through this website, the information which you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Union (“EU”). By way of example, this may happen if any of our servers are from time to time located in a country outside of the EU. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK. By submitting your personal data, you’re agreeing to this transfer, storing or processing. If we transfer your information outside of the EU in this way, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Policy.
